The idea that a golfer playing less than their best stuff means that they don’t care is such a lazy thing that people throw around.
Is Rory done?

Does amuse me that there are people who struggle to break 90 picking apart Rory's game ?

Superb interview from Rory there. In any sport or walk of life, things don’t always go to plan or work out as expected, but his commitment cannot be questioned. Brilliant stuff.

I've never seen Rory that rattled, not even after he threw away the Masters. Think that was a build up of pressure and frustration right there. He knows better than anyone how poorly he played this week

I would think that they have all tried their hardest to win this week every time they have teed it up. Just like we do when we play in the weekly medal. The Americans have just wanted it more.

dont agree with this last statement at all, nothing to do with wanting it more, but to do with being betters golfers and playing better golf on a course that suited better for me

I expect that interview shows there is something personal going on in the background. I’ve no doubt that reflects how much he cares about the Ryder Cup, just think it’s a release of more emotion that he’s been having to bottle up.

Its exactly this. The USA have simply played better. That is all there is to it.

The US team have simply played better in every session. I'm sure the Europeans were up for it and desperately wanted to win, but sometimes you just have to accept the other team were just too good.

Think his interview well and truly punctured this point.
He just isn't playing nat his best which has happened to a lot of golfers.

I hope all is ok for him outside of golf. Never seen him like that before

Hmm, more, or less ironic if it ends up him & Poulter?
Funny ol' game!

So if someone struggles to break 90 they can’t offer an opinion on how Rory is playing? Dont talk rubbish, it’s plain to see he isn’t the same player that he was in 2014.

Didn't say anyone couldn't offer an opinion, so put your handbag away.
I said it amuses me.

Just because you are a better player doesn’t mean that you can turn up and win. You still need the desire, especially at the level these players are at. Lots on here have slagged Poulter off this weekend and gave him no chance today, but he has just gone 3 up as he WANTS to keep his singles record intact.

no handbag to put away, end of the day he’s not playing anywhere near the standard he’s capable of and hasn’t for a number of years.

Ah so the other Europeans just didn’t want to win. Thanks. I thought it was about ability and form but really it’s about desire. In-depth analysis. Cheers.

Just saw Rory’s interview.. Wow.. hopefully this marks his return to form

In a strange way perhaps the experience of this weekend will end up being a positive for him going forward. It could be a total reset of his goals, plans, game, etc and a new focus on bagging some more majors
I still believe there's another big burst left in him at some period over the next 8-10 years where he could pick up another 4 or 5 majors
